A Boat Tour to See the Lava Flow to the Ocean

Woohoo! Lava began flowing to the ocean again yesterday! Hawaii county is in the process of preparing a lava viewing point. That point is planned to be in place by tomorrow, per this KGMB video

In the meantime, you can get an incredible view from the ocean on a boat tour. Lava Ocean Adventures runs tours to see the lava twice daily for morning and evening views. I spoke to Shane at Lava Ocean Adventures today and he said the lava is as good as ever and that tours are booking quickly. The tours last 2.5 to 3.0 hours and leave at 5:00a and 4:30p. The current cost of the tour is $199 per passenger, though that price may come down if they can arrange to use their larger boat.
